This Secret Ninja [French translation]

Just like cellophane, you try to cling so tight to me,

But your attempt's in vain

You've less sincerity than the plastic

Paper in the rain

The print appears so bright to me

The words remain

I hold it to the light, I see right through

So eager to say, "hello", but you don't know me

You just know what you see

Pay the price to see the show, but you don't own me

Before you knew, would you have felt the same?

Just when I'm inspired, you drain the drive right outta me,

And even when I'm tired

You push me to perform for your amusement

Just like raging fire, you burn what's left inside of me

And to fulfill your desire,

I'd give you light till I burned out

So eager to say, "hello", but you don't know me

You just know what you see

Pay the price to see the show, but you don't own me

Before you knew, would you have felt the same?

No!

Just when you start to smile, I look into your eyes

And see your veiled denial to express any real emotion

Just wait around a while, you'll lose what you once had for me

I'll be out of style,

I'll be discarded with the warmth you once feigned

So eager to say, "hello", but you don't know me

You just know what you see

Pay the price to see the show, but you don't own me

Before you knew, would you have felt the same?
